Separate from her contribution to 'Ireland's own,' Nellie Walsh was a singer and collector of traditional Irish music who sang in local and national choirs. As a singer, she had a large collection of sheet music taped together to be performed. She collected folk songs before even starting 'Songs of your county,' so a majority of her personal papers is made up of songs compiled into manuscript books or written on the backs of envelopes, clipped from newspapers, and photocopied. The earliest date in this collection is 1936, but the majority is likely from the late 1940s until the end of her life in the late 1990s.
